“[We] just literally go out to dinner and just sit and catch up and talk,” Matt recently told People about making date nights with Luciana. “We’ve got to be vigilant about it because if we don’t make the time for it, it will never happen. We just make the time, basically.”

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana walk through JFK Airport with their daughters – Alexia, Gia, Isabella, and Stella – on Friday (December 14) after arriving in New York City.

The 42-year-old actor recently chatted with Playboy about roles he regrets turning down.

“Having to say no to Avatar was tough because I particularly wanted to work with James Cameron, and still do, because he’s fantastic,” Matt said. “He knew he was the star of that movie and that everyone was going to go see it anyway. When he said, “Look, I’m offering it to you, but if you say no, the movie doesn’t need you,” I remember thinking, Oh God, not only do I have to say no because of scheduling, but he’s going to make a star out of some guy who’s going to start taking jobs from me later.”

Matt also says he regrets having to turn down the role in Milk that eventually went to Josh Brolin.

“He’s just a really talented guy and people don’t even (know it yet),” Matt said on the Today show. “I knew him from The Office and was a fan of his and the show, but the scope and breadth of his talent is so much more vast than that and as I got to know him I really wanted to work with him.”

“It’s kind of similar to when I met George Clooney years and years ago and everybody knew him from ER,” he added. “But Steven Soderbergh did a movie with him and instantly formed a company with him and everybody in Hollywood was going, ‘What is Steven Soderbergh doing forming a company with the guy from ER?’ What Steven knew is what George was capable of and I think the same is true for John.”
